In a world plagued by environmental challenges, one start-up is leading the charge in the fight against pollution and plastic waste. Dharaksha Ecosolutions, a trailblazing company based in Faridabad, is revolutionizing the packaging industry with its innovative biodegradable materials. But their mission goes beyond just creating eco-friendly packaging – they’re tackling some of the most pressing issues facing our planet, from crop residue burning to plastic pollution.
Imagine a world where packaging isn’t just about protecting products – it’s about protecting the planet. That’s the vision behind Dharaksha Ecosolutions, where founders Arpit Dhupar and Anand Bodh have combined their passion for sustainability with cutting-edge biotechnology to create packaging materials that are not only environmentally friendly but also incredibly effective.
At the heart of Dharaksha’s solution lies mycelium, the root structure of fungi known for its remarkable ability to break down organic matter. By harnessing the power of mycelium, Dharaksha has developed a biodegradable packaging material that is a direct alternative to harmful substances like thermocol. This material not only provides superior protection for products but also breaks down naturally, leaving behind no harmful residues or pollutants.
But Dharaksha’s impact extends far beyond the realm of packaging. With the worsening Air Quality Index (AQI) in cities like Delhi NCR, caused in part by crop stubble burning, the need for sustainable solutions has never been greater. Dharaksha is addressing this issue head-on by offering farmers an alternative to burning crop residue – a practice that not only pollutes the air but also contributes to climate change.
Their innovative approach has caught the attention of investors, as evidenced by their recent pitch on Shark Tank India. Seeking Rs125 for 1% equity plus 100 hours of expertise, Dharaksha Ecosolutions secured a deal with all the sharks.
However, the deal comes with two conditions – verification of claims regarding debt and letters of intent, and a 20% discount on the valuation of the next investment round for the sharks.
Dharaksha Ecosolutions is not just a company – it’s a movement. A movement towards a cleaner, greener future where sustainability isn’t just a buzzword but a way of life. With their groundbreaking innovations and unwavering commitment to protecting the planet, Dharaksha is proving that sustainable business practices can be both profitable and planet-friendly. Join the revolution – together, we can build a world where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.
